The thing is the political class over here aren't too enthusiastic about telling us why we need armed police officers patrolling our major city Xmas markets .
Do you really need them to spell it out? I don't hear anyone giving specific reasons why armed police patrol airports, major sporting events, political rallies and here in the US even schools and the office building where I work. There are nutters in the world that come from all walks of life that's why.
